- Education: MBBS (2016), PhD (2018, University of Melbourne), Post-doctoral fellowship in Lyon (2018-2019).
- Projects: Leads NIH-funded studies on SEEG and AI-driven seizure localization, and global trials like PEGASUS for glioma-associated epilepsy.
Research Interests: SEEG signal analysis, drug-resistant epilepsy mechanisms, tumor-epilepsy links, and neuropsychological deficits post-surgery. Innovates in automated MRI segmentation and biomarker discovery (e.g., neurofilament light protein).
Articles Trends: Dominant themes include SEEG accuracy, epilepsy surgery outcomes, and biomarker validation. Recent work explores SEEG-driven language mapping and post-surgical cognitive risks.
- Awards: 2019 Best 3 Minute Data Blitz, 2017 RACP Fellowship, 2018 PhD Nomination.
- Grants: NHMRC grants (2022-2026), Equity Trustees Limited (2020-2022).
Labs/Teams: Heads SEEG Clinical-Research programs at Alfred Health and collaborates in the Australian SEEG Collaborative and HIP Project.
